Custom Components Company Completes Palomar Medical Center Project - Escondido, CA

March 8, 2012 - PRLog -- Custom Components Company recently completed a project to supply custom railings, handrails and cladding for the newly constructed Palomar Medical Center West in Escondido, CA.  The $956 million, 740,000 square foot, 11- story building will feature 288 private, single patient rooms, 50 emergency and trauma rooms and 12 operating rooms..  The hospital’s unique design will meld high tech within a healing environment of gardens, terraces, and outdoor balconies.  Waiting areas will have access to fresh air and two story courtyards on each floor which will bring the calming power of nature to patients and families.  Natural light will permeate the structure; even the traditionally stressful environments of trauma and emergency will feature skylights and courtyards, creating a brighter, greener atmosphere.  The signature 1.5 acre green roof and terrace above the surgery, cardiology and interventional radiology suites will offer yet another opportunity to experience the beauty of drought resistant and native plants – and it is also designed to deflect light and heat to provide a natural cooling system for the facility.  CO Architects of Los Angeles were the architects on the project.  DPR Construction of San Diego was the general contractor.  The new facility is scheduled to open in summer of 2012.

Custom Components Company supplied over 1,300LF of our Series 700 glass railing, stainless steel hand rails, stainless steel cladding and installation to Clark Steel Fabricators of Lakeside, CA.
